(https://twitter.com/PCG_News/status/753003768187195392)<br /><br />Consider Stephen Flurry's performance:<br /><br />- Purchased multi-million dollar college facility in England to be used for UK broadcasts<br />- $100,000's spent refurbishing new UK campus to bring it to the "Philadelphia Standard"<br />- Fitting out UK studio with state of the art TV radio equipment<br />- On TV in UK twice each weekend (heaven only knows how much that all costs)<br />- Now looking at advertising the radio station on TV!!!<br /><br />And after all that PCG still needs help from its members via their Twitter accounts!<br /><br />In the town where I live in there is a little Church group that operates small newsstand-style kiosks on a few of the street corners on the main thoroughfares. Each day you can see them quietly handing out their booklets and pamphlets, explaining their beliefs to anyone who is prepared to listen. They are neat, polite, well dressed young people who don't harass or debate with anyone and who try to promote their beliefs in a non-confrontational positive way. I would wager this little church group is more successful with their message than the PCG is with all its grandiose schemes and multi-million dollar buildings.<br /><br />In a world literally geared up for communication and the transmission of ideas and information multi-million dollar PCG struggles to even maintain a circulation of 100,000 copies of its flagship publication. <br /><br />In Revelation 3:8, the Church era they claim to be a part of has this promise from Christ, "I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it". Who in their right mind thinks that what the PCG has is an open door?<br /><br />Short of actually shutting down all together, it is hard to imagine how much weaker PCG's message can get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-28763398047091294862016-07-12T11:47:19.267-07:002016-07-12T11:47:19.267-07:008:26

The PCG is doing that. Billions are going to die, and all some here do is sneer”. <br /><br />“Every possible means needs to be explored…the PCG is doing that” are you serious, what planet are you on? I too believe the Tribulation is just around the corner and can see plainly that the PCG, especially Stephen Flurry, REFUSES to explore every possible means, unless they are HIS ideas. PCG uses TV, radio and print because HWA used it, simple nostalgia and mimicry, that‘s all. HWA used it we must do the same that is literally the extent to the depth of their reasoning.<br /><br />Read Grant Turgeon’s Philadelphian article before it was noticed by PCG leadership and cleaned up to see the stupefying incompetence at play. Apparently there are around 50-odd people involved at some point in the production process for KPCG.FM - 50 people! With around 200 employees in Edmond, that’s an astonishing 25% of their entire workforce involved in a production which by their own admission is listened to by members only! That means that a shocking 1 in 6 who listen in are actually the show’s production staff!<br /><br />Consider after over 25 years in operation the current circulation figure of PCG’s Trumpet Magazine with member generated waiting room circulation subtracted is only 100,000 copies. PCG’s work has become so pathetic it’s embarrassing. Considering the ideas used to promote it are we surprised?<br /><br />I assume you’re a PCG member, and then would remember that awful Behind the Work presentation from last year’s FOT. Don’t you remember Stephen Flurry boasting about radio and TV under HWA, how he believed that TV-radio was the way forward for 2016! Can’t you remember how it was all presented, stylised video footage through heavy filters of the grounds and each room of Amy Flurry’s new UK show home, how impressive it all was?<br /><br />Radio and free-to-air TV the way forward, are you kidding me! TV has been haemorrhaging its audience since the Mid-2000’s. In 2012 for the first time ever free to air TV was no longer the primary means for accessing news and entertainment. 4 years later that trend has continued to the point where the TV industry as we know it will no longer exist by the close of the decade, and Stephen Flurry thinks that TV and radio is the way forward!<br /><br />Stephen Flurry is the one who has driven PCG’s college to the extent that it is now. He is the one that has made impressive multi-million dollar stately homes and facilities a priority for the church. Stephen Flurry is the one who has pushed Irish dancing as a catalyst for his son’s talents down the collective throats of the membership. He’s the one who developed HWA College to the point where it has effectively become THE work. Stephen Flurry is the one who’s prepared to throw literally millions of tithe dollars into an Irish dance and music facility for the kids at Edmond. He’s the one who refuses to explore “every possible means” unless they are HIS ideas.<br /><br />Now that Stephen Flurry is in the UK where do you think the recent idea for a private jet came from? With another Ryan Malone music production coming up, no doubt featuring his son and wife, how else do you expect them to attend rehearsals and performances without having to rub shoulders with the unwashed masses? What is apparent about Stephen is that due to his WCG secluded upbringing and position as PCG heir-apparent he has no real appreciation for the value of money nor concept of the need to spend it wisely. <br /><br />His WCG-PCG acquired leadership mind-set is that no matter how ineffective or incompetent the idea is God will always bail them out (with 25% decline in income apparently not). Considering the tribulation is coming and the warning message isn’t going out, largely due to PCG’s leadership it makes the problems Garner Ted created for the work in the 70’s hardly worth mentioning. “Every possible means needs to be explored”, if that statement wasn’t so tragic you could laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-34944652602342084352016-07-11T12:27:55.134-07:002016-07-11T12:27:55.134-07:00So 7:01 the ends justify the means?
